The Arrowverse is starting to sound like a post Flashpoint universe that originated from the original Flash tv show.

Prankster has Superman, Green Arrow has the Funny Man(character design based on Gallagher, has a mallet), Wonder Woman has the Janet Japes, Green Lantern has Clown starrrr (a red lantern), Aquaman has Fishteller, Constantine has GhoulGaffe, The Atom has the Laughinator, etc. They all have one.

Hamill is a big casting coup for the show, even before the whole "Luke Skywalker returns to Star Wars" business. More crucially, Hamill is a drat fine actor. Can't wait. Also... Narcissus1916 posted:I'm holding out for this guy, myself.

Xelkelvos posted:Trickster will definitely name himself and probably has a wardrobe full of old costumes including those of previous incarnations Even on Flash, though, I can't imagine a Trickster character who isn't mostly the Joker. In at least kind of a "darkly funny" or "totally crazy" kind of way. It simply makes too much sense to position the character as a criminal nihilist whose villainy involves humor as a morbid cap placed atop violent crimes. If he's just innocuously zany, he barely makes sense as a villain who Barry needs to stop.

It could make a light, comedic episode, if the guy only pranks the Flash, and Barry wants to find him not because he's a menace, but because slamming into walls because someone put ball bearings down is annoying.

Trickster is going to be helping team Flash The Trickster is an anarchist terrorist con man serving a life sentence in Iron Heights who helps Barry (Grant Gustin) and Det. West (Jesse L. Martin) to foil the city-wide attacks of a wannabe Trickster eagerly following in the original's deadly footsteps. The episode will reunite him with John Wesley Shipp who went up against him as the original 'Flash' on the CBS version.

The one good thing I can see about having Mark Hamill be on the show is that we'll finally have a villain episode involving more story/character and lore than perhaps fighting.

The whole episode will revolve around Barry trying to find Trickster's misplaced medication. I wouldn't have too many complaints about that.

Given how much not only time travel, but also alternate universes play an important role in Flash, I wouldn't say that an appearance by Jay Garrick is completely out of the question.

I don't think it has anything to do with affirmative action, but it does also bother me a little when writers don't preserve the canonical ethnicity of characters. If they cast a white girl as Linda Park, that will bother me too. She's Asian in the comics.

Unless their ethnicity has something specific to do with their character, I don't see what the big deal is. I was okay other Ben Kingsley playing the Mandarin. Hemdial being a black viking in Thor only got a cursory glance.

On one hand, Linda Park's race probably shouldn't matter, especially since this show's been halfway decent about diversity already; on the other, adding another cute white girl to the ranks of Felicity and Caitlin as future potential love interests for Barry is at least a little low-effort.
